Occupy: The Movie

If Inside Job made 2008’s economic meltdown comprehensible, Occupy: The Movie provides a sensational sequel by focusing on the social movement that set up shop at Wall Street’s front door.

Occupy succeeded in captivating our collective consciousness and providing hope for positive change, but its visibility vanished as quickly as it appeared, leaving questions of its effectiveness in its wake. Tackling the complexity of how the movement manifested and providing cogent context to what caused its genesis, Corey Ogilvie presents a clear and compelling account of the Zuccotti Park settlement without getting lost in empty slogans, violent conflicts or proselytizing activists.

Featuring key interviews with Kalle Lasn (Adbusters), philosopher Cornel West, journalist Chris Hedges and leading organizers from the Occupy Wall Street movement, Occupy: The Movie isn’t propaganda for the cause, but an expert analysis of one of the biggest American social movements since the civil rights era.

Bob Leuci: American Hero or the Biggest Rat in NYPD History? 

It’s 1970’s New York City, crime and drug trafficking is at an all time high and police corruption is rife. One officer went under-cover within his own department, wore a wire and collected evidence, eventually bringing to trial over 50 of his colleagues in the NYPD. Although hailed as a hero by many, Bob Leuci is also the most hated cop in American history. 

Did he rat on his colleagues to save his own skin, as many claim, was he motivated by the pursuit of justice or was he used as a pawn to scape goat the rank and file, while their superiors – many of whom are still in power – got off the hook? 

After a lifetime in Witness Protection, Bob Leuci – and those that despise him – tell their story. Using past and present testimonies, dramatic archive, stylised recreations and a killer 1970’s soundtrack, Blue Code of Silence will bring this story of corruption and betrayal to life.
